Hunter Biden, the First Son who documented terabytes worth of his own crimes across at least five genres of offense on at least three continents, has finally been indicted. Has hell frozen over? Are pigs flying? No. It’s a limited hangout — business as usual.
Prosecutors have not charged Hunter with tax fraud, a crime he certainly committed but which implicates his father, the “Big Guy” to whom Hunter claims to have paid between 10 and 50% of his earnings. Prosecutors likewise have not charged the young Biden for failing to register as a foreign agent, a crime he also committed and through which he became rich but which also, inconveniently, implicates his father. Prosecutors did not even charge Hunter for crimes related to his penchant for crack and hookers at home and abroad — crimes that do not directly implicate his father but which nevertheless paint an ugly portrait of the Biden clan.
Instead, Hunter has been charged with lying on some paperwork while purchasing a firearm. That is, he is charged with making too expansive a use of his Second Amendment rights, cherished by Americans since long before the nation’s founding and defended especially by Joe Biden’s most trenchant critics. Hunter faces jail time for his least significant crime, which also happens to be the transgression least damaging to his father and most likely to elicit sympathy. The indictment, though less masterful a political maneuver than the Justice Department’s previous attempt to let him off with a sweetheart plea deal, impresses nevertheless.
Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the deputy director of the CIA, described the tactic succinctly. “A limited hangout,’” he wrote, “is spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals: when their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting — sometimes even volunteering — some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case.” 
In the case of the Bidens, a veil of secrecy no longer obscures their corruption. First, Joe denied knowledge of Hunter’s business deals. Then, Hunter admitted to discussing the deals with his father. Next, Joe Biden denied active involvement in the graft. Then, handwritten notes and phone logs revealed Joe’s participation in dozens of Hunter’s crooked meetings. So Joe spun his participation as perfunctory pleasantries to appease his son. Then, investigators discovered several pseudonyms, present in thousands of emails, by which Biden as Vice President of the United States got into the nitty gritty of the deals. Now Hunter has been indicted for lying to a gun store clerk.

But what ever happened to the tax charges? The Department of Justice seemed willing to pursue them just as long as a federal judge let Hunter off the hook without the still-hidden details of his business dealings ever seeing the light of day. When U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika rejected that proposal in July, the DOJ decided to drop the charges altogether. Did the prosecutors suddenly conclude that Hunter had not in fact committed the crime? Or was the prosecution a farce from the start?
The gun charges carry with them the prospect of 25 years in federal prison. But does anyone believe that Joe Biden would permit his only surviving son to languish in jail even if prosecutors managed to convict him? Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell seems downright serene, predicting, “The case will be dismissed before trial.” In the meantime, Lowell has reportedly informed the judge that Hunter will plead not guilty.
When the Hunter Biden laptop story first broke just under four years ago, the government leapt into action — to pressure social media platforms to suppress the story. Four years later, the tactics have changed, but the goal remains the same: protect Joe Biden.

The Hunter Indictment Is A Limited Hangout

Special counsel David Weiss, who was appointed by the DOJ, now says he intends to seek an indictment against Hunter Biden in the gun charge case.
Hunter Biden is a garbage bag of a human being who began a romantic relationship with his brother&#8217;s wife after his brother died. He also was a massive drug abuser who bought a gun and tossed it in a trash can near a school. But that&#8217;s not the main problem with Hunter Biden.
The main problem is that he was a bag man for his dad.
Everyone knows this, including Hunter Biden, who literally texted his own daughter that he paid half of his father&#8217;s bills. He failed to pay taxes for years while earning tens of millions of dollars for friends, family, and himself. But no one was checking into the deeper questions: Where was this money going? Was influence being peddled?
Why, for example, was Hunter Biden not being charged with violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act? He acted like a foreign agent operating on behalf of a foreign company that was clearly related to American domestic concerns. He acted as a go-between for a Ukrainian company, Burisma, and the American government. It’s obvious that you have to register as a foreign agent to do that; he didn’t. Why wasn&#8217;t he prosecuted for that?
The original theory was that David Weiss, even if he had wanted to, couldn&#8217;t because the DOJ under Joe Biden didn&#8217;t give him special counsel status to prosecute. That was the case made by IRS whistleblowers like Gary Shapley.
The DOJ then tried to bring a sweetheart deal in front of a judge for Hunter Biden — that he would plead guilty on some tax charges, get no jail time, and, on the gun charge, be given a diversion instead of an actual conviction on his record. But buried in the gun charge was immunity from all further prosecution on things like Foreign Agents Registration Act violations.
The judge looked at this and said, “I&#8217;ve never seen a deal remotely like this. Why are you immunizing him from further prosecution or investigation on financial crimes in the gun charge? You&#8217;re doing this to hide the fact that you&#8217;re doing this.” And then she blew it up in open court and the DOJ denied what was going on. The deal fell through. The Biden administration knew that what was going on was an obvious scandal in which the DOJ massaged the entire process so that Hunter would never be investigated for his involvement with his dad.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-ben-shapiro-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
That&#8217;s when Merrick Garland came out and said, “OK, you know what? We&#8217;re going to make David Weiss the special counsel.” So they did it. That also came just in time for David Weiss not to testify in front of Congress about all of this, because once he was getting special counsel status, how could he be asked about failure to be given special counsel status? He could simply say, “Listen, there&#8217;s an ongoing investigation. I can&#8217;t comment on ongoing investigations or negotiations.”
It was all very convenient. It was all very obviously a cover-up. And now we come to the final part of the cover up: David Weiss seeking charges on the gun charges by the end of the month. The real question is: Is this gun charge now going to include a plea deal that immunizes Hunter Biden from further investigation, or is David Weiss going to say, “Hey, we&#8217;re done here. Move on. There won&#8217;t be any investigation into the finances of Joe and Hunter Biden.”
Apparently, Weiss is still weighing whether to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes. He said in a court filing last month that the trial is now in order on the tax offenses and he might bring additional tax charges in California or Washington, D.C. But all of that is irrelevant to the broader question: where the money was coming from and where the money was going.
What Biden wants for his son is some sort of slap on the wrist that basically allows him out of jail. And if they do and they just drop the rest of the investigation, then it was pretty obvious the special counsel stuff was simply a ruse. This is what House Republicans have been saying. They sent a letter to Hunter Biden&#8217;s lawyer saying if he refuses to provide the committee with requested information because of any purported privilege, the committee may need to see testimony from him (the lawyer) and/or Hunter Biden regarding the disclosure of documents and communications.
James Comer, the head of the House Oversight Committee, said there are emails showing Hunter&#8217;s legal team telling Joe Biden how to spin his corruption throughout this entire process. What Joe Biden has always said in the mainstream media is: “Why are you investigating Hunter Biden? He wasn&#8217;t a part of the government.” He intimated that he had a firewall between the government and his son. That&#8217;s not true. We&#8217;ve proven that in the last two weeks.
Joe Biden has been a corrupt politician since the day he was elected to the United States Senate. We&#8217;re supposed to pretend he is as clean as the fresh driven snow. Not only that, but it was also perfectly legitimate for him to hide a bunch of emails in which he was using a pseudonym to coordinate with his son, who was corruptly picking up cash in a foreign country.
And the legacy media is going to pretend that&#8217;s totally normal.

David Weiss Says He’ll Indict Hunter Biden. The Final Part Of The Cover-Up Begins.

Former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio was sentenced this week to more than two decades behind bars in connection to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, marking the harshest sentence to date in the Biden DOJ’s handling of January 6. 
Along with Tarrio — who was not even in D.C. on the day of the breach — his co-defendants, fellow Proud Boys, racked up huge sentences, too.
Before Tarrio, Ethan Nordean was tied for having the longest sentence at 18 years. Joe Biggs, a <a href="https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/06/07/veterans-make-most-of-proud-boys-members-indicted-sedition-jan-6-violence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">purple heart recipient,</a> was handed down a 17-year sentence, and Zachary Rehl, a U.S. Marine veteran, was hit with a 15-year sentence. 
All four of the men — not a single one even accused of assault — were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee who sentenced each young man, agreed with the government that all four of them be hit with a “terrorism sentencing enhancement.” Meaning each sentence will be over ten years at a minimum. 
First, let&#8217;s look at what they were convicted of (among other lesser charges): seditious conspiracy. This is significant. The seditious conspiracy law was enacted after the Civil War to arrest Southerners who might try to keep fighting the U.S. government. It’s extremely rare in its application, and hard to prove – but it’s been used by the Biden DOJ about a dozen times now in connection to the Capitol breach, and so far, rather successfully. 
Save Tarrio, who was not at the Capitol, the other three young men were accused of trespassing and damage to government property. In Biggs&#8217; case, for example, he helped remove a fence outside the Capitol.
These are minor infractions, so the DOJ took on that rare seditious conspiracy charge, which they had to try to prove with speech, and mostly private speech. The government sifted through tens of thousands of private and some public messages from the men to build their flimsy, yet successful, cases.
In one message used by the prosecution, Tarrio <a href="https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/sedition-trial-for-miami-ex-proud-boys-leader-4-others-begins-2-years-after-jan-6-riot/2948854/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> after the breach, &#8220;Make no mistake … we did this.&#8221; The government also highlighted a document outlining a Capital takeover that was sent to Tarrio on social media platform Telegram called “<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/26/proud-boys-leader-verdict-jan-6-00093891">1776 Returns</a>.” Tarrio did not directly respond to the sent document and claims he never even saw it, let alone open it.
The government told the court Tarrio, who is the son of Cuban immigrants, was &#8220;intelligent, charming, creative, and articulate” and argued that he used those talents to “inflame and radicalize an untold number of followers.”
Defense lawyers maintained throughout the trail that there was not a single shred of written evidence to show that the men conspired to stop the certification of the 2020 election, though they might have boasted and talked &#8220;s***&#8221; to each other, privately. 
Tarrio himself actually spoke about this glaring speech issue during the trial, from inside a jail cell. He suggested the trial concerned free speech, and said that the government is trying to “manipulate” how people speak to each other privately. Here’s what Tarrio said in a Twitter Spaces event, which was hosted on April 25th: 
<blockquote>“What they’re trying to do, what people are trying to do – and this is in general, I’m speaking in general – is manipulate how we talk to each other in the locker room,&#8221; Tarrio <a href="https://twitter.com/gatewaypundit/status/1651006027209342977" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;And it’s not fair &#8230; It’s just not right. It’s not the Justice system that you grew up in civics class learning about.” </blockquote>
Notably, the DOJ has had near-perfect success in prosecuting J6 defendants before D.C. juries – this is a very liberal city, where, in 2020, Biden secured a stunning <a href="https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/washington-dc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">93%</a> of the vote. That likely emboldened the government to go forward with these extreme charges, knowing they could win. 
It also seems Donald Trump is a key factor in the DOJ going so hard after the Proud Boys: it could help their pursuit of the former president. Trump notably said on television in September of 2020, “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.” This was breathlessly reported by those in legacy media, the clip was shown by prosecution in this Proud Boys trial, and you can bet it will be a focus at Trump’s coming J6 trial. 
Reporter Julie Kelly, who’s been covering these J6 cases from the very beginning, believes just that. 
<blockquote>“There is no case for seditious conspiracy – certainly they could be charged with trespassing, or, ya know, vandalizing property – no one is accused of assaulting a police officer,&#8221; Kelly <a href="https://rumble.com/v2krcrc-tucker-speaks-again-atf-attacks-americans-proud-boys-on-trial-rep.-nehls-bi.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> months ago on Real America&#8217;s Voice. &#8220;The reason why the outcome of this trial matters, is because the government is going to use this – any convictions – special counsel Jack Smith – to indict Donald Trump on the very same offenses.”</blockquote>
Trump has since been <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/us/politics/trump-indictment-charges-jan-6.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged</a> with conspiracy to violate civil rights, conspiracy to defraud the government, the corrupt obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to carry out such obstruction.
While the DOJ has continued this harsh pursuit, the American people have taken notice. Polling by Rasmussen from about 10 months after January 6 showed that <a href="https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/september_2021/are_capitol_rioters_political_prisoners_many_voters_say_yes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nearly half</a> of all Americans thought J6 defendants were “political prisoners.” And polling from this year by Quinnipiac showed that <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/polls-show-americans-are-divided-on-the-significance-of-january-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">about half the country</a> is ready to move on from J6, finding it less significant an event than it’s being portrayed.
Some GOP lawmakers have weighed in on this, too, saying these defendants are being treated poorly and far more harshly than any BLM protester or rioter has been treated. Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley (R), for example, has called out the DOJ for this disparity. 
In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland last year, Hawley wrote:
<blockquote> “While you treat persons charged with petty offenses from the January 6 riot as hardened criminals, now even the most heinous offenses can be treated leniently, as long as the perpetrator is of the correct race and the crime can be connected to some progressive cause.” </blockquote>
One case highlighted was over a BLM protester named Montez Terriel Lee, Jr. who was convicted of arson to a pawn shop that resulted in the death of a 30-year-old man. The DOJ, citing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to defend Lee, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/prosecutors-win-light-sentence-for-man-who-set-deadly-fire-during-floyd-riots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> for a lighter sentence for the man. Lee was sentenced to ten years – that’s less than half of Tarrio’s sentence – and, again, Tarrio wasn&#8217;t present at the riot. 
Lawmakers have also <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/republicans-treated-jan-6-inmates-celebrities-jail-visit-1234703702/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised objections</a> about how long some of these defendants have been <a href="https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/why-capitol-riot-defendants-being-held-without-bond-before-trial-january-6-congress/65-1e4d4dd6-eded-4187-85f1-d4dfcc3a9519" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held in jail</a> without bond awaiting their trials, arguing that their due process rights have been violated. Tarrio, for example, was locked up since March 2022 &#8211; long before his trial even started. 
To date, more than 1,100 Americans have been charged in connection to the Capitol breach, and more than 300 people have already been sentenced to prison time. And it doesn&#8217;t appear the DOJ is slowing down.

Biden’s DOJ Throws The Book At Proud Boys Over J6, Racking Up Huge Sentences

Biden's DOJ Throws The Book At Proud Boys Over J6, Racking Up Huge Sentences

Donald Trump

January 6

January 6 Committee

On Wednesday, a federal judge essentially ordered the state of Texas to weaken its security along the U.S.-Mexican border, per President Joe Biden&#8217;s Department of Justice&#8217;s request.
Senior U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra ordered Texas officials to remove floating barriers in the Rio Grande that Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-begins-installing-barrier-on-rio-grande-river-to-stop-illegals-from-crossing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">installed</a> to slow down the deluge of illegal aliens flooding the country under Biden. The federal government sued the state. The feds argued that the gigantic buoys blocked waterway navigability in violation of U.S. law, and were placed in the river without permission. Ezra agreed with that assessment and said that Texas&#8217; claim of an &#8220;invasion&#8221; was irrelevant.
“The Court has found that the United States is likely to succeed on the merits of its claim that Defendants have violated [the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899],&#8221; Ezra wrote, <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2023/09/06/judge-orders-texas-to-remove-border-buoys-from-rio-grande-rejects-abbott-invasion-claim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Dallas Morning News. “The Court also finds that Texas’s conduct irreparably harms the public safety, navigation, and the operations of federal agency officials in and around the Rio Grande.”
The Abbott administration had previously argued that the Rivers and Harbors Act shouldn&#8217;t apply because that particular part of the Rio Grande is too shallow for boats and other vessels to navigate.
In response to Wednesday&#8217;s ruling, the Texas governor pledged to fight it.
”This ruling is incorrect and will be overturned on appeal,” Abbott <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-border-barriers-buoys-removed-federal-judge-biden-administration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “We will continue to utilize every strategy to secure the border, including deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers and installing strategic barriers.&#8221;
Abbott isn&#8217;t just facing pushback from his own government for these barriers. Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador condemned Abbott for his actions.
&#8220;No one should be treated like this,&#8221; Lopez Obrador <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/03/americas/mexico-amlo-texas-inhumane-intl-latam/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last month. &#8220;That kind of treatment does not come from a good person; only by being good can we be happy.&#8221;
Maybe Lopez Obrador should recognize that no nation should be treated the way the Biden administration and Mexico treat America. A country can&#8217;t survive without a strong border, and Biden&#8217;s entire administration seems intent on keeping it as wide open as possible.
Of course, the real solution to this madness will be to deport the millions upon millions of illegal aliens who currently reside in the country — and then build the wall while propping up more barriers like Abbott has done.  That will never happen under a Democratic president.
For now, one has to wonder why the Biden administration didn&#8217;t simply give Texas approval to install these features post hoc. It&#8217;s not that much of a mystery actually. It seems obvious it&#8217;s because the Biden team has no desire to protect American sovereignty. They have effectively abdicated duty entirely.
Abbott also promised to build more guardrails and to defend Texas&#8217; land.
&#8220;We will continue to utilize every strategy to secure the border, including deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers and installing strategic barriers,&#8221; Abbott <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/office-of-the-governor-statement-on-ruling-on-texas-border-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Wednesday. &#8220;Our battle to defend Texas’ sovereign authority to protect lives from the chaos caused by President Biden’s open border policies has only begun. Texas is prepared to take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.&#8221;
Maybe once Biden and his bipartisan gang stop shelling out billions for Ukraine borders, they will focus on America&#8217;s border.
Until then, hats off to Abbott for the creative solutions and cojones to fight in court.

By now everyone acknowledges that the federal government lies to Americans as a matter of course. It&#8217;s no longer just the so-called &#8220;conspiracy theorists&#8221; who think that. Anyone who&#8217;s been paying attention over the last couple of decades has come to that conclusion. After COVID, after the recession that wasn&#8217;t really a recession because they changed the definition of a recession, after the wars in Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan and Ukraine and so on — there&#8217;s no reasonable person left in this country who trusts the federal government on faith, and rightfully so.
What this means is that, if you&#8217;re a Washington bureaucrat, toiling away in, say, Joe Biden&#8217;s Justice Department, you have to adapt. You can&#8217;t just feed people bald-faced propaganda, because no one will buy it. You have to work to sell the deception. So naturally, that&#8217;s exactly what the DOJ has been doing. They&#8217;re coming up with inventive new ways to lie that are difficult to detect, at least on the surface.
Here&#8217;s one example that went totally unreported by the mainstream press. Kevin Benjamin Weier is a California man in his mid-30&#8217;s. During the canonization of Saint George Floyd three years ago, Weier <a href="https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2021/08/man-pleads-guilty-to-moving-burning-board-against-federal-courthouse-during-protest-last-summer.html#:~:text=Kevin%20Benjamin%20Weier%20pleaded%20guilty,15." target="_blank" rel="noopener">took it upon himself</a> to light a federal courthouse in Portland on fire. There&#8217;s no dispute about that. Weier pleaded guilty to, &#8220;repositioning a piece of lit wood” against the walls of the courthouse. And Weier wasn&#8217;t the only one who tried that tactic. In case you&#8217;ve forgotten, here&#8217;s some of the footage from the siege of the federal courthouse in Portland:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Portland protests: Federal agents fire tear gas as hundreds protest outside US courthouse" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YLAfAzdzAsw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Kevin Benjamin Weier was one of the handful of militants who was arrested after this attack on a federal courthouse. After Weier pleaded guilty, Joe Biden&#8217;s DOJ made a point to issue a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-or/pr/southern-california-man-pleads-guilty-after-attempting-set-fire-federal-courthouse-during">press release</a> about the many years in jail that this domestic terrorist was facing. Specifically, the DOJ&#8217;s press release stated that Weier&#8217;s intentional destruction of federal courthouses was, &#8220;punishable by up to 10 years in prison.&#8221;
Admittedly, ten years in prison is a little light for trying to torch a federal courthouse with people inside of it. But at least it&#8217;s something. It&#8217;s a long sentence — long enough, you might think, to deter other Californians from trekking to Portland for the purpose of burning down courthouses.
What&#8217;s interesting is that Joe Biden&#8217; DOJ never released a follow-up press release, after Weier was actually sentenced. They sent the message that this arsonist would serve some hard time. But they failed to inform the public about Weier&#8217;s actual sentence. Why is that? It&#8217;s not hard to answer that question. As it happens, Weier ultimately <a href="https://twitter.com/AntifaWatch2/status/1461371361721524231?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received</a> a sentence that was nowhere near the 10-year term the Biden DOJ suggested he might serve. Instead, on the recommendation of federal prosecutors, Weier received a sentence of <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ord.153765/gov.uscourts.ord.153765.43.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two years&#8217; probation</a>. For trying to set fire to a federal courthouse. And indeed, Kevin Weier never served a day in prison. He did have to pay a $200 fine, though. So there&#8217;s that.

If you&#8217;re a former GOP congressional candidate by the name of Enrique Tarrio, this is all very confusing. Tarrio was just sentenced to 22 years in prison for his &#8220;involvement&#8221; on January 6th. Prosecutors had sought a 33-year sentence for Tarrio, but the judge brought them down a bit. What was Enrique Tarrio&#8217;s crime? He didn&#8217;t try to set fire to the Capitol building on January 6th. Unlike Kevin Weier, he didn&#8217;t place a flaming piece of wood up against a federal building. We know that because, on January 6th, Enrique Tarrio was nowhere near any federal buildings. He had been arrested for vandalizing a holy BLM banner a few days earlier, and was ordered by a judge to stay far away from Washington D.C.
Nonetheless, yesterday, Tarrio received the single longest sentence of any January 6th defendant. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio sentenced to 22 years in prison" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Za3fjMVODkE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It&#8217;s a surreal news report, in a lot of ways. For one thing, neither the reporter, nor the two anchors, seem remotely concerned by the fact that Enrique Tarrio was just sentenced to 22 years in prison for &#8220;orchestrating&#8221; a riot that he didn&#8217;t even attend. There&#8217;s no discussion whatsoever about what Tarrio might have done, or how exactly he facilitated what happened on January 6th. No one cares.
So let&#8217;s talk about it. According to the government, Tarrio told his followers on January 6th to, &#8220;Do what must be done.&#8221; He also told members of the Proud Boys to organize a big crowd in Washington to storm government buildings. The scheme was known as &#8220;1776 Returns.&#8221;
Sounds pretty ominous. Storming government buildings? Where have we seen that before? If you&#8217;re not a goldfish, and your memory extends longer than a few minutes, you know the answer to that question. Here&#8217;s what the Supreme Court and the Capitol complex looked like during the Kavanaugh hearings:

So these people bang on the doors of the Supreme Court, they storm a Senate office building. And their punishment is — absolutely nothing. They get zip-tied, at most, and let go immediately. Their explicit purpose was to derail a government proceeding. In fact, some of these activists barged into the Senate chambers. None of them suffered any real consequences.
In fact, Left-wing activists who have committed acts of violence — even homicides — have received far more lenient sentences than Enrique Tarrio just did. Consider the case of the BLM arsonist back in 2020 who <a href="https://www.startribune.com/10-years-in-federal-prison-leniency-for-man-who-set-deadly-pawnshop-fire-during-unrest/600136780/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lit a pawn shop on fire</a>, in the name of civil rights. Three days after Saint George Floyd overdosed, Montez T. Lee decided to commit an act of arson that killed Oscar Lee Stewart. Stewart&#8217;s body wasn&#8217;t found in the rubble for nearly two months. What was Montez Lee&#8217;s sentence? He got less than ten years in prison. That&#8217;s less than half the sentence that Enrique Tarrio will face, for sending some naughty text messages.
I&#8217;m focusing on Enrique Tarrio here because his sentence is the most egregious, but there are many more examples of this obviously unequal justice we&#8217;re seeing. Consider the case of Joseph Biggs, a man with no criminal record whatsoever. Biggs is an Army veteran who didn&#8217;t hurt anyone on January 6th. But he did walk around the Capitol building and he did help pull down a fence on the periphery of the building. And for that, judge Tim Kelly — the same judge who sentenced Tarrio — decided that Joseph Biggs needs to spend 17 years in prison.
Where have we seen political demonstrators ripping apart fences in front of government buildings before? Oh, that&#8217;s right. We saw it during the BLM riots that torched St. John&#8217;s Church across from the White House, and sent Donald Trump to the bunker. No one involved in tearing down that fencing and setting the church on fire was ever frogmarched in front of the cameras, or sentenced to 22 years in prison. In fact, it doesn&#8217;t appear that anyone involved in that incident, or the burning of St. John&#8217;s church, spent a day in federal prison. 
We see relatively light or non-existent sentences like this all the time. A <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/court-justice/2023/05/im-not-your-victim-anymore-man-gets-10-year-prison-sentence-for-raping-brooklyn-boy-in-case-that-went-unsolved-for-decades.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serial child rapist</a> in Ohio just got ten years in prison. A drunk driver in Phoenix — at four times the legal B.A.C. — just got <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-az/pr/drunk-driver-sentenced-12-years-prison-second-degree-murder-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">12 years in prison</a> for driving 135 miles per hour and killing someone. A terrorist train engineer in Los Angeles who <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-san-pedro-train-engineer-sentenced-3-years-prison-intentionally-derailing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tried</a> to run his locomotive into a U.S. Navy hospital ship during COVID received just three years in prison. A man who burned down a Minneapolis police station, live on national television, during the George Floyd riots <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9665137/Fourth-person-burned-Minneapolis-police-building-George-Floyds-murder-sentenced-prison.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received</a> just four years in prison. Another man who lit a molotov cocktail and threw it at the police station <a href="https://www.twincities.com/2021/05/13/st-paul-man-sentenced-for-helping-torch-minneapolis-police-station-during-george-floyd-unrest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">got</a> just three years in prison. You get the idea.
On the other hand, anyone remotely involved in January 6th — including nonviolent offenders — is being hunted down right now. We&#8217;re talking about American citizens, well over two years after January 6th, who are being ambushed by heavily armed FBI agents playing hero. This is how the FBI just approached one small business owner in Arkansas, named Nathan Hughes:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
🚨 Last week, a friend of ours was raided by the feds over J6, his name is Nathan Hughes and he’s from Fayetteville, Arkansas. Nate was raided by the FBI and arrested at gun point. His girlfriend (who just had a miscarriage) was held at gun point and put in handcuffs. The FBI… <a href="https://t.co/LOpMQ28eUJ">pic.twitter.com/LOpMQ28eUJ</a>
&mdash; Hodgetwins (@hodgetwins) <a href="https://twitter.com/hodgetwins/status/1698854092792070382?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 5, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
What was Nathan Hughes&#8217; crime? According to the DOJ, he wore an Infowars shirt while <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/arkansas-man-arrested-felony-and-misdemeanor-charges-actions-during-jan-6-capitol-breach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;pushing&#8221;</a> against the police line in the Capitol. To be clear, if Nathan Hughes actually did &#8220;push&#8221; against the police line on January 6th, that&#8217;s a crime. It would be comparable to the crime BLM rioters committed in the footage we just showed you. 
But Nathan Hughes&#8217; case is not being handled remotely the same way as those BLM rioters. Nathan Hughes did not get off without any consequences whatsoever. Instead, he&#8217;s now facing more than five years in prison on &#8220;felony civil disorder&#8221; charges. The feds showed up to arrest him with body armor and rifles, in full view of customers, as if he was some kind of terrorist. In fact, the feds also raided Hughes&#8217; home, and opened his safe. The company &#8220;Liberty Safe,&#8221; for some incomprehensible reason, <a href="https://twitter.com/libertysafeinc/status/1699245595867971969?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complied</a> with the feds&#8217; demands and used a backdoor mechanism to open it.
There is no conceivable argument that can possibly justify all of this, for the simple reason that nothing remotely like this has ever happened to Left-wing terrorists like Antifa, or BLM. None of those thugs have ever received anything like this treatment, even when they murder people. If we lived in a country in which every &#8220;lawbreaker,&#8221; however that&#8217;s defined, faced extremely harsh punishment, then maybe the treatment of the J6&#8217;ers would be tolerable, because it would be consistent. That&#8217;s how the rule of law is supposed to work. It&#8217;s supposed to guarantee equal punishment for equal crimes. But we don’t live in that kind of country. Most criminals are treated with kid gloves, even the most violent and dangerous kinds. It’s only with Trump supporters, and Trump himself, and other political dissidents that suddenly we become a land of strict enforcement and merciless punishment. 
This is a point that&#8217;s been made again and again over the past couple of years, as Trump supporters are sent to prison for memes, as U.S. service members are dismissed for refusing to take the COVID shot, and so on. But the prosecution of people like Enrique Tarrio and Nathan Hughes marks an escalation in the Biden administration&#8217;s tactics. 
So does the Biden DOJ&#8217;s handling of the raid on Craig Robertson a month ago. Robertson was the elderly invalid Trump supporter in Utah who shared threatening memes about Joe Biden on social media for months. Weeks later, instead of picking up Robertson while he was on his motorized scooter at Walgreens, the FBI decided to surprise Robertson with a 6 AM raid at his home. Then they shot him after they say he raised a pistol. We reached out to the FBI to obtain the body camera footage from the raid. Yesterday, the FBI <a href="https://twitter.com/gregg_re/status/1699195964626469355?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refused</a> to provide it, citing ongoing &#8220;enforcement proceedings.&#8221; That justification makes no sense, because they&#8217;ve already killed the 70-something-year-old man who was posting the memes they were so concerned about. But the FBI said it anyway, because they&#8217;re confident no one in the mainstream media will look into it any further.
On that point, if we&#8217;re being honest, the FBI is probably right. We may have actually reached the point where the federal government can imprison and even kill its political enemies without any oversight, even as it gives a pass to terrorists on their side of the political spectrum. If that&#8217;s the case, then we don&#8217;t have a society that&#8217;s governed by the rule of law anymore. We have a society that, like every dictatorship, enforces the will of the ruling class with raw power. You&#8217;d hate to think that might be what we&#8217;re dealing with. But unless a real opposition forms — unless conservatives start electing leaders who are ready and equipped to deal with this problem, for starters — then it will be our future. There&#8217;s no question about that.

Guy Who Wasn’t Even At The Capitol On January 6th Gets 22 Years In Prison Anyway

Matt Walsh

The Biden Department of Justice successfully swayed a jury on Tuesday to convict five pro-life activists for demonstrating at a controversial abortion clinic, which the DOJ argued violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, also known as the FACE Act.
Conservatives quickly expressed outrage over the case, especially since the activists &#8212; Lauren Handy, 28, John Hinshaw, 67, Heather Idoni, 61, William Goodman, 52, and Herb Geraghty, 25, &#8212; face 11 years behind bars and were thrown in jail to await their sentences. The activists also each face a $350,000 fine.
&#8220;From the beginning, this trial has been a sham with a completely biased pro-abortion judge who has made a mockery of our justice system,&#8221; Live Action founder Lila Rose <a href="https://www2.cbn.com/news/us/horrific-precedent-doj-convinces-dc-jury-jail-5-pro-life-late-term-abortion-protesters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;This decision will be appealed, and we demand it be overturned. These activists are heroes, and the Department of Justice has acted capriciously and illegitimately.&#8221;
Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/the-michael-knowles-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Knowles</a> said Wednesday on &#8220;The Michael Knowles Show&#8221; that these five pro-life demonstrators are &#8220;political prisoners.&#8221;
&#8220;The evil apparatchiks in Washington, DC, are imprisoning these five patriots for this simple act of demonstrating against abortion,&#8221; Knowles said. &#8220;These five pro-life activists  demonstrated in defense of babies at an abortion mill, an infanticide factory, and for that they face more than a decade in prison.&#8221;
The activists engaged in a sit-in demonstration at the D.C.-based Washington Surgi-Clinic late-term abortion facility in October 2020. According to reporting from CBN, the demonstrators sang songs, prayed, locked arms in front of the facility&#8217;s staff entrance, and attached themselves with ropes and chains to block doors inside the building in an effort to &#8220;delay the murder of kids,&#8221; the activists said.
The FACE Act, a Clinton-era rule, makes it a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mark-houck-catholic-pro-life-activist-facing-11-years-in-prison-acquitted-at-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">federal crime</a> to injure, intimidate, or interfere with anyone due to their status as an abortion provider.
The Surgi-Clinic is particularly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/undercover-footage-allegedly-exposes-gruesome-details-of-d-c-abortion-clinic-practices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controversial</a> due to recent undercover footage allegedly showing suspect practices by staffers, including making women take Xanax before meeting with an abortionist and giving final consent.

Moreover, in March 2022, authorities were called to the home of Handy, one of the activists convicted on FACE act charges, to recover the bodies of five premie-size aborted babies. Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) activists told <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-went-to-the-clinic-of-the-dc-abortionist-accused-of-gruesome-crimes-heres-what-i-saw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> they intercepted a box of aborted babies that was on its way from Washington Surgi Clinic to Curtis Bay Medical Waste Facility to be incinerated.
Attorneys at Thomas More Society filed an emergency motion Wednesday with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia asking the Court to reconsider its order detaining Handy while she awaits sentencing. The attorneys maintain Handy and the other activists were peacefully demonstrating, which is a protected right.
“Ms. Handy was there to prevent these horrific live-birth abortions, which does not violate the FACE Act,” said Thomas More Society Senior Counsel Martin Cannon. “However, she has become a victim of the merciless drive by Biden’s Department of Justice to prosecute those who are trying to protect preborn human beings. To add to that injustice, she was incarcerated when the true violence continues to be committed against innocent children.”

And, as reported yesterday, shortly after Musk purchased the social media platform last November, President Joe Biden ominously remarked that Musk&#8217;s business transaction were &#8220;worth being looked at.&#8221;
When asked how he would go about doing that, Biden chuckled, &#8220;There’s a lot of ways.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

The tech entrepreneur is right that the &#8220;weaponization&#8221; of the government needs to stop – but appealing to the Left&#8217;s alleged good nature will not stop the abuse.
If Biden and his ilk felt any shame about their behavior, the president would not have seemingly trolled former President Donald J. Trump as he was booked into Fulton County jail Thursday night.
&#8220;Apropos of nothing, I think today&#8217;s a great day to give to my campaign,&#8221; the president posted on X along with a link to a donation page.

What will stop the Left?
Well, it seems self-evident that the Democrats — like all tyrants — are fundamentally a bunch of bullies. They manipulate the legal system to beat down their victims. Like all bullies, Democrats will only respond to equal or greater legal force in kind.
That means the American people, Musk, and even a former president must depend on the GOP to deliver that legal pushback desperately needed to begin the restoration of confidence in the system. Thus far, such a response has been entirely lacking.

Elon Musk Reacts To DOJ ‘Weaponization’ Against Him

Elon Musk

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/17/politics/hunter-biden-tax-charges-plea-deal-dismissed/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a> two misdemeanor tax charges against Hunter Biden on Thursday evening. However, the move came after newly appointed Special Counsel David Weiss asked Noreika to dismiss those charges stemming from Hunter&#8217;s now-defunct plea deal so that new charges could potentially be filed against President Joe Biden&#8217;s son in either California or Washington, D.C.
In late July, Hunter&#8217;s plea deal over alleged tax crimes and other illegal behavior <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-plea-deal-almost-derails-after-questions-about-scope-of-deal-immunity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">completely fell apart</a> after Noreika inquired about how much immunity the deal would effectively grant to Hunter. The proposed deal would have involved Hunter pleading guilty to the now-dismissed tax misdemeanors and admitting the facts of a gun charge. If approved, the deal would likely have meant no jail time for the president’s son and — according to Hunter&#8217;s team — block future legal action against Hunter, thus making it a de facto pardon.
Noreika put the plea deal on hold, leading Hunter to plead not guilty. In turn, the judge requested at the time that both federal prosecutors and Hunter’s lawyers take the time to further hash out the details of a plea deal. Then, last Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss as special counsel.
By Tuesday, Weiss&#8217; team filed in court that the plea deal and diversion program apart of it were &#8220;now-withdrawn&#8221; and &#8220;never went into effect,&#8221; meaning that &#8220;none of its terms are binding on either party,&#8221; CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/15/politics/special-counsel-hunter-biden-gun-deal/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Hunter&#8217;s attorneys agreed with Weiss&#8217; request that the two tax misdemeanors should be dismissed, according to CNN. Noreika approved the request from both parties Thursday.
Critics of the special counsel have argued that the new status of the case provides further protection for Hunter and his father and could prevent congressional testimony from key actors.

We will also continue to work with the House Committees on Judiciary and Ways and Means to root out misconduct at the Justice Department and hold bad actors accountable for weaponizing law enforcement powers.&#8221;
Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement, “This move by Attorney General Garland is part of the Justice Department’s efforts to attempt a Biden family coverup in light of the House Oversight Committee’s mounting evidence of President Joe Biden’s role in his family’s schemes selling ‘the brand’ for millions of dollars to foreign nationals.&#8221;
It is unclear what will happen to the original gun charges from Hunter&#8217;s now-void plea deal.

WASHINGTON, DC – APRIL 12: WFP USA Board Chair Hunter Biden speaks during the World Food Program USA’s 2016 McGovern-Dole Leadership Award Ceremony at the Organization of American States on April 12, 2016 in Washington, DC.

Here’s Why Hunter Biden’s Tax Charges Were Dismissed Thursday Evening

Here's Why Hunter Biden's Tax Charges Were Dismissed Thursday Evening

It’s back to the drawing board in the Department of Justice’s ongoing obfuscation and cover-up of the Biden Brand influence peddling scandal that is now threatening not just Joe Biden’s electoral chances, but his presidency itself.
The mendacity of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s latest move, finally appointing Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel into the investigation of Hunter Biden, is both myriad and shocking.
Let’s start with Weiss himself, this is the same prosecutor who authored the sweetheart plea deal that nearly put this scandal in the rearview mirror of the White House for good, with its watered down misdemeanors and uncharged crimes.
But even worse than the lackluster charges themselves was the absurdly broad immunity to future prosecution that the deal offered, had Judge Maryellen Noreika not smelled a rat and quashed the bargain, Hunter Biden would have been permanently in the clear for almost all of his duplicitous dealings.
Prosecutors claim that they never intended to grant such sweeping immunity, but as Hunter’s lawyer Abbe Lowell put it in on Sunday, no experienced defense team would allow their client to plead guilty to a misdemeanor on a Monday when they knew a felony charge was coming on Wednesday.
Let us also note that Weiss has already allowed the statute of limitations run out on potential tax charges against Hunter from 2014-2015 and now runs the risk of doing the same thing with Biden scion’s pending gun charge.
Flailing Biden defenders are clinging to the technically true point that Weiss was a Trump appointee, but as Sen.Ted Cruz put it, Weiss “was personally selected by the two Democrat senators from Delaware, Tom Carper and Chris Coons. For five years, the investigation has gone nowhere other than to protect Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.&#8221;
Where is the lie?
And somehow, it only gets worse, not only has Garland let the fox run the henhouse in choosing Weiss, the ongoing nature of the investigation is clearly a tool that will be used to stonewall congressional investigations.
Rep. James Comer’s House Oversight Committee investigation, in a mere seven months, has produced whistleblowers alleging special treatment, Hunter associate Devon Archer confirming that influence was being sold, and a cavalcade of bank records to the tune of $20 million foreign bucks in Biden bank accounts.
Both Garland and Weiss were set to testify before Congress in the fall to address the whistleblower allegations, but now the stage is set for these so-called Justice officials to gravely shake their heads and intone, “I cannot comment on an active investigation.”
It’s not good enough, and it also contradicts claims from Garland that Weiss had total charging authority, in any jurisdiction, if that was the case, then why would Weiss ask to be made special counsel? 
Why would he ask for authority he supposedly already had, why does he need it in writing now, instead of just from the lips of Merrick Garland?
If you are starting to get the sense that this whole investigation stinks to high heaven then that is precisely because it does, and the coverup would have worked too, if it wasn’t for those pesky whistleblowers.
Congressional Democrats did all they could to demonize the brave men who stepped forward to testify, under penalty of perjury, about how the DOJ was protecting Hunter and Joe Biden, clearly they deserve an apology — equally clearly, they won’t get one.
This scandal and the shambolic probe into it are fast growing into one of the darkest clouds to ever hang over a president of the United States, but if there&#8217;s a silver lining to it, it is that congressional Republicans have no intention of letting up.
Already today, based solely on what the committee has uncovered so far, we know that Hunter Biden was selling access and influence, this isn’t in dispute anymore, even Biden sycophant Rep. Dan Goldman says the “illusion of influence” was up for sale.
Already we know that Joe Biden was actively involved in the influence peddling scheme with his phone calls and dinners with Hunter’s crooked crowd.
Either Joe was a willing participant or a dupe having his chain yanked by his drug addict son.
Pressure is mounting for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to announce an impeachment inquiry, and this latest move by the DOJ to continue smothering the scandal will only bring that pressure to a bursting point.
Even without cooperation from a Justice Department that has dragged its feet on every document the committee wants to see an ocean of damming material has been unearthed, that isn’t going to stop.
What a difference a month makes, Joe Biden and his family brand were minutes away from getting away with it all, more or less scot-free in that Delaware courthouse, now they are reaping the whirlwind.
How long before Democrats start falling out of line, how long before they grow a spine, say enough is enough and demand that their party’s leader explain his behavior, behavior which even the Washington Post editorial board now says was “not spotless”?
Just when the president thought he was out of all this, they sucked him back in, and a sandbagging Department of Justice isn’t getting him off the hook this time.
Congress and the American people will not go gentle into Merrick Garland’s dark night of endless investigation, the truth is coming to light, and there is nothing Joe Biden can do to stop it.

Police departments nationwide regularly receive a <a href="https://le.fbi.gov/file-repository/hate-crime-data-collection-guidelines-and-training-manual.pdf/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">document</a> from the DOJ entitled &#8220;Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines And Training Manual.&#8221; The point of the manual is to educate officers on how to identify hate crimes and report them to the feds for the all-important hate crime statistics you often see in the media. They were <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/13/us/hate-crimes-fbi-2017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">everywhere</a> during the Trump presidency. You still see these hate crime figures cited today, in fact. These are the statistics that supposedly prove white supremacy is the greatest threat this country has ever faced.
Given all the reliance on these numbers, it&#8217;s strange that no one ever talks about the DOJ manual. You&#8217;d think there&#8217;d be some curiosity about how these numbers are determined. So I decided to read the document myself. One of the most extensive sections of the manual, as it turns out, is the &#8220;exercises&#8221; section. These are hypothetical scenarios that the DOJ provides to police departments to help illustrate hate crimes law. One of the exercises is about two gang members who assault a random Hindu person with a baseball bat. The exercise states that, &#8220;When taken into custody, the two juveniles reported they committed the assault because they want the Hindu people to go back where they came from.”
As you can probably guess, the DOJ&#8217;s manual instructs officers to categorize this incident as a hate crime because of  &#8220;the offenders&#8217; derogatory comments about the Hindu community.&#8221; Seems straightforward enough. If you beat someone up while yelling, &#8220;go back where you came from,&#8221; then you&#8217;re committing a hate crime. If &#8220;hate crime&#8221; means anything, then that would seem to qualify.
What&#8217;s interesting is that a real-life version of this exercise just played out earlier this month in New York City. 51-year-old Asian American Sue Young was traveling on a subway train in Greenwich Village — supposedly one of the nice areas of the city — with her husband and her 11-year-old twin girls. That&#8217;s when three black teenage girls started screaming and cursing at Sue Young. She tried to play it off. Her husband suggested the girls might be “uneducated.&#8221; A rather plausible theory, I would say. Then the teenagers <a href="https://abc7ny.com/nyc-crime-subway-f-train-assault-greenwich-vilage/13613800/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Sue Young to go back where she came from. Within seconds, one of the teenagers, a 16-year-old girl, began attacking Young. Then, for good measure, the teenager beat a bystander who recorded the incident.
Given all those facts, you&#8217;d think it&#8217;s safe to call this incident a hate crime, since it pretty much mirrors exactly the scenario in the DOJ&#8217;s hate-crimes manual. &#8220;Go back where you came from&#8221; is an admission that the attack relates to the victims&#8217; national origin, race, or religion. It&#8217;s pretty straightforward to any reasonable person. But it&#8217;s not straightforward to New York police, apparently. They have <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/08/teen-arrested-for-assault-of-tourist-on-nyc-subway-in-viral-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decided</a> not to charge the teenager in this case with a hate crime. They found her. They arrested her. They know she told her victim to go back to her country. But there won&#8217;t be any hate crimes charges.
That&#8217;s not because the evidence is unclear. There&#8217;s no dispute about any of these facts. It&#8217;s all been established. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Teen arrested in disturbing attack on F train in Manhattan" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mX0StjyOMjc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;Go back where you came from,&#8221; followed by a beating. Under the DOJ&#8217;s guidelines, that&#8217;s a hate crime. It’s literally one of the exact scenarios they specify as a hate crime. But it won&#8217;t be recorded as one.
If you&#8217;re the kind of person who trusts government statistics on crime — or on any topic at all — then this development is mind-blowing, to put it mildly. It&#8217;s the kind of thing that might make you ask some unapproved questions. For example, you might wonder: Is it really true, as multiple outlets have <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/08/12/1027236499/anti-asian-hate-crimes-assaults-pandemic-incidents-aapi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, that the &#8220;anti-Asian hate-crime epidemic&#8221; is caused by all those MAGA Republicans that secretly live in New York and San Francisco? Are MAGA Republicans not only controlling the weather and melting the ice caps, but also patrolling the streets looking for Asians to randomly assault? Can we trust that data?
Here are the real numbers. As The City Journal recently <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-hate-crime-distraction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, &#8220;While black perpetrators account for 27.5 percent of violent attacks against Asians, Asians commit less than 0.1 percent of violent attacks against blacks, indicating little role for proximity. Most violent attacks against individuals of a particular racial group are committed by other members of that group — except for Asians, where a plurality is committed by blacks. In fact, blacks are responsible for 305 percent more violent crime against Asians than neighborhood demographics would predict, while whites and Hispanics commit significantly fewer attacks against Asians than would be expected.&#8221;
What this suggests is that hate-crime statistics are meaningless. Totally bogus. They misrepresent and vastly underreport the amount of anti-Asian racial violence committed by black people, particularly young black people. What happened in Sue Young&#8217;s case isn&#8217;t as unusual as it might appear.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1207-tbd-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a>
To be clear, there are many other reasons to conclude these hate-crime statistics aren&#8217;t reliable. The overwhelming majority of police departments report zero hate crimes every year, for example. You heard that right — zero hate crimes. In 2019, fewer than 15% of the nearly 16,000 jurisdictions <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-hate-crime-distraction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> a single hate crime to the DOJ, even though they participated in the DOJ&#8217;s reporting system. This is a tiny sample size we&#8217;re talking about here.
And these police departments — the few that are reporting hate crimes — are not verifying, as a legal matter, that any hate crime occurred. The hate-crime statistics don&#8217;t refer to hate crimes that have been proven. They refer to reports of hate crimes, as the DOJ manual says. All it takes is a cop to code a case as &#8220;hateful,&#8221; and boom, you have a hate crime. No jury or judge is required.
These are the gaping holes in the hate crimes reporting system that you never hear about. So you have to ask: Why do we have this hate-crimes system, if it&#8217;s not producing anything remotely resembling accurate results? And for that matter, even if we could measure this accurately, why does anyone bother recording hate crimes? Why not record crimes that are motivated by, say, greed or lust? Why does the &#8220;hate crimes&#8221; designation persist? As I’ve often argued, the most dangerous people in society are those motivated not by hate but by indifference to human life. Why don’t we have a separate federal category for Indifferent Crimes? Why give hate crimes this special place of honor, especially when they aren’t being recorded in any kind of honest or consistent way?
Well, Sue Young and her husband offer us some clues on that front. They&#8217;ve come out and given interviews absolving their attacker of personal responsibility. Watch: 
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://abc7ny.com/video/embed/?pid=13613832" width="476" height="267" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&#8220;We don&#8217;t know what battles other people have in their lives, but I can imagine they&#8217;re probably not as privileged,&#8221; Sue Young&#8217;s husband said. He&#8217;s apparently justifying why he allowed his wife to be accosted right in front of him. He adds, &#8220;That probably has a lot to do with their outlook on the world and the anger they may have.&#8221; Therefore, the couple agrees, what happened to them was not a hate crime. They&#8217;re happy they took their beating instead of fighting back.
What that couple is saying out loud, without realizing it, is the real reason hate crimes persist as a category. The point of hate crimes isn&#8217;t really to measure hate. The point is to measure victimhood, where the victims happen to be the primary voting blocs of the Democratic Party. If you have &#8220;privilege&#8221; — meaning if you&#8217;re Asian or white — then hate crimes can&#8217;t happen to you. If you&#8217;re attacked because of your ethnicity, you should rationalize it. Justify the actions of your attackers.
One of the many problems with this reasoning — other than the fact that &#8220;lack of privilege&#8221; cannot conceivably justify beating up a woman in front of her kids — is that plenty of poor people don&#8217;t commit violent crimes. We can measure this. The assumption that Sue Young and her husband have — that their attacker must have a really hard life — isn&#8217;t an explanation at all for what happened. The Twitter account &#8220;Monitoring Bias&#8221; has <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-hate-crime-distraction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">looked into</a> the numbers on this. The account found that, &#8220;In NYC, where the percentage of Asians who live in poverty is close to that of blacks, the black arrest rate for murder was 13 times higher than for Asians in 2020.&#8221;
In other words, black people aren’t simply committing acts of violence because many of them are poor. The black violent crime rate is still disproportionately high even when you control for income level and economic class. The point is that these punks on the subway aren&#8217;t really &#8220;angry&#8221; or going through any great personal struggle. They are bored and spoiled, and they&#8217;ve been empowered to act however they want, with the knowledge that their behavior will always be excused no matter how heinous it is. They have no fear of any punishment. In that way, they&#8217;re like the rich Antifa kids who spit on cops or the lawyers who threw firebombs at a police cruiser during a BLM riot. They&#8217;re like the thugs who you see going into Nordstrom or the Apple store and walking out with all the merchandise. They know they&#8217;re not going to suffer immediate, severe, and long-lasting punishment. They know they might not suffer any punishment at all. They know their victims are weak and often lack the will to defend themselves. So they take advantage of it.
That&#8217;s the reality. Some people won&#8217;t acknowledge it even when it hits them in the face, many times over, on the subway. They&#8217;ve been fed so many lies, including from the DOJ&#8217;s hate crimes reporting system, that they&#8217;re incapable of diagnosing the problem, much less trying to solve it. Their weakness will perpetuate violence on all sides. People can only take so many subway beatings and &#8220;random&#8221; stabbings before they start defending themselves. 
The Youngs were proud of themselves for not “attacking” the black teens who were harassing them. But people are growing weary of this kind of passivity — of this submissiveness in the face of lawless, violent thugs. The dam can’t hold forever. There will be a lot more Daniel Pennys coming soon. And when that happens, the DOJ will call it hateful. They&#8217;ll call it a sign of rampant white supremacy. What they&#8217;ll never admit — what they know is true — is that it will be their fault.

Former Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-pence-and-tucker-carlson-clash-in-heated-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Pence</a> responded to the indictment of his former boss Tuesday, saying the charges are a reminder that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-responds-to-latest-criminal-indictment-reminiscent-of-nazi-germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> “should never be President of the United States.” 
Pence took to X, formerly known as Twitter, shortly after a grand jury in Washington, D.C., <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-grand-jury-indicts-trump-over-alleged-efforts-to-overturn-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicted</a> Trump over allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Trump was charged with Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, and Conspiracy Against Rights.
“Today&#8217;s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States,” Pence <a href="https://twitter.com/Mike_Pence/status/1686529371685658625">said</a>. “I will have more to say about the government’s case after reviewing the indictment. The former president is entitled to the presumption of innocence but with this indictment, his candidacy means more talk about January 6th and more distractions.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Pence continued by arguing that Trump’s candidacy would distract from the important issues Americans face, such as “Joe Biden&#8217;s disastrous economic policies afflicting millions across the United States and to the pattern of corruption with Hunter.” The former vice president then called out Trump for asking him to reject the electoral votes of several states following the 2020 election, a power Pence said the Constitution did not grant him. 
“Our country is more important than one man. Our constitution is more important than any one man’s career. On January 6th, former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will,” Pence said.
The Trump campaign <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-responds-to-latest-criminal-indictment-reminiscent-of-nazi-germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> to the indictment Tuesday night, calling it an attempt by Biden’s Justice Department to “interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election.” 
“The lawlessness of these persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes,” Trump’s campaign said in a statement. “President Trump has always followed the law and the Constitution, with advice from many highly accomplished attorneys.”
The indictment, delivered by Special Counsel Jack Smith, is the third criminal case brought against Trump in the past year. In June, he pleaded not guilty to charges in connection to his handling of classified documents, and in April, Trump pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from his alleged hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. 
The latest indictment was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-republicans-respond-to-latest-trump-indictment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ripped</a> by top Republicans — including some of Trump’s GOP primary opponents — as more political targeting of Trump by Biden’s DOJ. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) swore that House Republicans “will continue to uncover the truth about Biden Inc. and the two-tiered system of justice.”

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, Trump’s closest challenger in the Republican primary, also slammed the DOJ in response to reports about the indictment. 
“As President, I will end the weaponization of government, replace the FBI Director, and ensure a single standard of justice for all Americans,” DeSantis <a href="https://twitter.com/RonDeSantis/status/1686494955420692480" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “While I’ve seen reports, I have not read the indictment. I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington, D.C., to their home districts.”
“Washington, D.C., is a ‘swamp’ and it is unfair to have to stand trial before a jury that is reflective of the swamp mentality,” the governor added. “One of the reasons our country is in decline is the politicization of the rule of law. No more excuses—I will end the weaponization of the federal government.”

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-cuts-funding-for-school-hunting-archery-training-programs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> has decided to take a break from doing nothing and will be hitting Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, for the next 10 days.
At this point — to steal a line from Hillary Clinton — what difference does it make whether he&#8217;s in D.C. or catching some rays in the sun? Having Biden in office or at the beach does not really change the direction of the country or impact executive decision-making.
It is abundantly clear that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-will-be-without-both-shadow-presidents-so-who-is-really-running-the-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">isn&#8217;t really running the country</a> — and somebody else is calling the shots. His comments are walked back, he gets bullied into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-administration-to-send-cluster-bombs-to-ukraine-bypassing-u-s-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sending more aid</a> to Ukraine, and some days it seems like he rolls out of bed and is told to simply read whatever&#8217;s on the teleprompter screen (repeat the line).

But when you&#8217;re 80 years old, that&#8217;s all a bit exhausting.
So it would appear that <a href="https://www.capegazette.com/article/biden-expected-town-through-next-weekend/262070" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he and first lady Jill Biden</a> are heading out to their <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2021/03/15/how-covid-helped-boost-the-value-of-joe-bidens-beach-house-by-700000/?sh=5f0d43cb6ddc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multi-million dollar beach house</a> that sits in the safety of a <a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-wall-rehoboth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taxpayer-funded</a> wall and armed security. Meanwhile, the average American suffers under the high cost of living as millions of illegal aliens flood through the porous border and Democrats work to strip gun rights.
Speaking of &#8220;The Big Guy,&#8221; how exactly did Biden afford his vacation spot and other assets? That&#8217;s a question Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently asked on his podcast, &#8220;The Verdict.&#8221;
If &#8220;you look at the assets he’s accumulated on a Senate salary, it’s pretty impressive,&#8221; House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/22/bidens-linked-to-russia-ukraine-via-more-bank-records-comer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Cruz&#8217;s podcast last Friday.

As Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-is-a-liar-he-knew" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a>, &#8220;Hunter Biden texted his daughter in 2019, &#8216;I hope you can all do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry. Unlike Pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.'&#8221;
&#8220;That’s the ball game,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;Does that sound like the kind of thing you would text to a family member that was actually entirely false and in reality, no money had ever changed hands?&#8221;
No, it doesn&#8217;t. And messages like that could help explain why Biden&#8217;s Department of Justice and Hunter&#8217;s attorneys apparently attempted to hide from a federal judge that a plea deal worked out between the two parties could grant  Hunter immunity from Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) violations in the future.
Perhaps in light of the plea deal imploding, the president decided he wanted to do what any man of his age and stature wants to do: Enjoy the lazy dog days of summer by the coast. He was there a few weeks ago and was able to enjoy some peace and quiet. It looked like nobody wanted to talk to him. That makes sense. Would you know Biden from any other elderly retiree on the beach?
